Yes

It is clear that aboriginal peoples have suffered horrible injustice and persecution. This has lead to a fractured society and individuals with a weak sense of cultural belonging. In turn, aboriginals are less likely to succeed in school, work and family life. Reparations must be made, but not in the form of money. Is it wiser to give a homeless person 20$ or to give them a warm meal? Casinos, cigarette stands and gun shops will not help aboriginals regain their sense of culture. Instead of handouts, the government should work with native leaders to determine investments that will benefit them the most. Rather than give a nation a lump sum and have them do with it what they will, a plan to build schools and other necessary societal infrastructure should be agreed upon and executed.

what about japanese funding? forget what we did to them? yes what was don’t to indigenous peoples was wrong but let’s not bend over backwards for them.

Why should they get more than anyone else? The only natives that should get help are ones who went through the schools not they're children.

They don’t do anything with the money. I have personally seen really messed up things that they have done. Like wasting an entire moose carcass, when many hunters aren’t even allowed to hunt them. Winnipeg is also filled with homeless people, and most of them are natives. Most, don’t contribute to society.

Personally I do not think it is fair, I understand what our country did to the Indigenous people was horrible but its not fair to be giving them thousands of dollars when everyone else gets nothing besides getting excessively taxed.

They should be treated as financially equal to all other non-Indigenous citizens. Maybe the government can offer different means (such as education) to help them become or continue being productive members of society. Since they are already exempt from taxes, there should be no additional financial assistance given when the rest of the country is also in despair.

They already get more than enough hand-outs, natives aren't struggling because of racism, they're struggling because of their culture.

they have gotten enough money already even though we can't change the past and the terrors that the people that have gone to thoses school it has been long enough of helping them we can't do anything else we have given them their land back and tried to make them happy but canada is running out of stuff to give them.

Since these people live in Canada, they too, live under the law of Canada. They too, should receive the same amount of treatment as the other non-First Nations citizens.

Everyone has certain setbacks in life and you may have had more hardships growing up but so long as you work hard (if youve had more hardships youll have to work harder) you can come out of it. everyone in Canada should be equal and no one group should be favored.

Abolish the Indian Act as it promotes cultural segregation and is a barrier to indigenous community's living as equals among other Canadians.

We shouldn’t give them any money because then they get lazy and spend their money and alcohol, drugs and smokes.
